Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the BAB3030C?
The BAB3030C is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards that accept Quicklag Type BAB breakers. It is not compatible with standard residential plug-on load centers.
What is the recommended torque for the box lugs on the BAB3030C?
The recommended torque depends on the wire size. It is typically 20 in-lbs for 14-10 AWG, 25 in-lbs for 8 AWG, and 27 in-lbs for 6-4 AWG wire. Always verify with the labeling on the breaker.
Is the Eaton BAB3030C HACR rated?
Yes, all Eaton BAB series circuit breakers from 15A to 100A, including the 30A BAB3030C, are HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can I use the BAB3030C in a residential plug-on load center?
No. The BAB3030C features a bolt-on mounting design intended for commercial and industrial panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers like the Eaton BR or CH series.
What is the difference between the Eaton BAB and QBHW series breakers?
Both are bolt-on breakers that share the same physical footprint for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards. The primary difference is the interrupting rating. The BAB series is rated for 10kAIC, while the QBHW series is rated for 22kAIC.
Is the Eaton BAB3030C a direct replacement for older Cutler-Hammer models?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, so the Eaton BAB3030C is the direct replacement for older Cutler-Hammer BAB3030 and BAB3030C breakers. They share the exact same physical dimensions, bolt-on configuration, and electrical ratings.

We placed our first order with superbreakers.com recently for a breaker we weren't able to acquire locally. I ordered the breaker way ahead of time because I've had issues with shipping for products purchased online in the past. The estimate for the item when I initially ordered was 3 days. Without adding an expedited shipping options, the breaker arrived the next day. We installed it this week, and so far so good. In my opinion, they sell quality parts and have excellent turn around time. Very impressed.
